NDA made a mess of the presidential elections. While it had an opportunity to showcase the cracks in Congress and present it as THE ALTERNATIVE, Presidential election exposed the cracks within NDA itself.

P A Sangma hardly stands any chance against the good will of Pranab da. However NDA seems to have made amends by Jaswant Singh as Vice President nominee. And the whole of NDA seems to have thrown its behind behind him.

While i am not a Congress supporter anymore - thanks to the declining economy and growing corruption - NDA hardly seemed to be an option too - No strong Prime Minister nominee, endless infighting, in ability to capitality on people's sentiments during Lokpal Bill movement etc. It seemed to be a contest between choosing Corruption vs Chaos, and i preferred to go for the first one.

But now, after years, there seems to be a sort of a comeback from NDA. I would be watching Vice Presidential elections with a lot of keeness and hope that NDA presents itself as a formidable opposition.
